The following invitation is being sent out to users who have been accepted into the iWork for iCloud beta:
We’ll soon be introducing a new and exciting feature to iCloud. It’s called iWork for iCloud and it’s a suite of apps — Pages, Numbers, and Keynote — that make it easy for anyone with an iCloud account to create and edit great-looking documents, spreadsheets, and presentations right on the web.iWork for iCloud offers in-browser versions of Apple's iWork software suite, including Pages, Keynote, and Numbers. The software can be accessed from both PC and Mac computers as well as a number of mobile devices. It is expected to be released to the public later this year.
We’d like to invite you to be one of the first to try it, so we’re giving you early access to the iWork for iCloud beta. All you have to do is sign in to iCloud on a Mac or a PC using the current version of Safari, Chrome, or Internet Explorer. Then just click on Pages, Numbers, or Keynote and you’re off.
We’re really proud of these apps and we’d appreciate your help in making them as great as they can possibly be. So we’d love to hear your feedback as you use them.
Sign in to iCloud.com to get started with iWork for iCloud today.
Sincerely,
The iWork Team
Thanks to Jason and the other tipsters!

Gone are the days of having to pay the Apple tax just to make a pretty pigment presentation!
I remember when I used XP well into Window 7's release.
Wow a screenshot of Windows from Apple and it's an up to date version? I remember they used to use screens of XP well into Windows 7's release.

Seems like nearly anybody can get in. I wasn't sent an invite but can easily access it via beta.icloud.com.

I've been on the beta test for some number of weeks now. It works well enough but I never find a real use for it. What's the point if you have a Mac you can run iWork native on the Mac. This is great if you are on a PC, or were seriously broke and could not afford Pages and Numbers. But if you own a Mac I don't see the point.
One serious flaw is that all the Mac features are not supported so if you open a Mac iWork document in the on-line version you get asked if you want to make a copy with the format features removed. You click "yes" and go. But now how to save your edits back to the "real" document? For this to work all version must be 100% identical.
The on-line version can't have every font you own on the Mac either. So if you open a document using the online editor and it uses some font that is not on-line it should offer a kind of substitution

It shows up in icloud.com for me on the "home screen", but when I click it it displays "Coming soon: Pages/Numbers/Keynote for iCloud Beta. Create and edit beautiful presentations/spreadsheets/documents right in your browser on Mac or PC. There is a blue button marked "Get Pages" underneath the message. If I click that, it opens the Mac App Store page for the respective app.

No way I'm using Office 365 or Works in the Cloud. i prefer having the documents on my hard drive. Being able to write documents in the internet browser is neat, but if not for... NSA.

When your account has access, the iWork icon will be replaced with 3 icons for the the individual iWork apps.
